Chapter 758: Phobia of the Creek
After Li Moer finished calling Old Man Wei and Director Hao, she planned to go to the kitchen to help, but she didn't know that there was no place to stay in the kitchen.
The grandmother was directing everything from the side while Chang Lijuan, Han Xinyi and Wang Cuicui were busy having fun. Xue Qiner had been squeezed out of the kitchen and went to the living room to chat with a group of men.
When the meal was almost ready, a few little girls were whispering outside the kitchen. Tian Zhenzhen said, "Have you heard that my brother-in-law has a strange disease called creek phobia?"
Wang Cuicui curled her lips and said, "It's all because of the daughter of the vice-principal of their school."
Cui Nan also came over and said, "I heard that a while ago, there were a lot of older single women who would wait by the creek, waiting for the man they liked to come along. Then they would pretend to fall into the river, and when the man rescued them, they would blame him for it."
Tian Li looked towards the living room before saying, "Some time ago, word spread in my brother-in-law's school that he was a bad luck star, and that anyone who got close to him would be unlucky. The vice-principal's daughter pretended to fall into the river, and after being rescued by my brother-in-law, he started blaming her. Then, the vice-principal's family started to suffer bad luck. In the end, she couldn't stand it anymore and stopped blaming my brother-in-law."
Wang Cuicui curled her lips. "What's with all that talk of a disaster star? That's all bullshit. You see, what happened to the youngest? It's all nonsense. But my brother-in-law's phobia of creeks is real. Now, if he walks across a creek, he'd rather take a detour for several kilometers than cross it."
Tian Zhenzhen said, "Every failure is a learning experience. He'll fall into the same trap twice, so he'll definitely be more careful about this kind of thing!"
Yang Yuqing squeezed over and looked at everyone: "So, should we go ahead with what we just said about asking my brother-in-law to buy us some delicious food?"
Wang Cuicui nodded: "To buy it, he must spend money, after all, I don't see him so often. But I have to wait until after dinner before dragging him to buy it."
Everyone nodded in agreement. At this moment, a car stopped outside the gate. Old Man Wei got out of the car and came to the yard. He was shocked to see that all the girls in the yard were beautiful women.
He strode into the living room, and everyone who was chatting inside stood up to greet Old Man Wei.
Zhao Yunting took a teacup, poured a cup of tea for Old Man Wei, and handed it to Old Man Wei respectfully.
Liu Tianhua and the others didn't know the identity of the old man who had just arrived. Even Du Feng, a university professor, treated him with respect.
The beauties in the yard were also confused. Who was this old man who had just arrived? The professor gave up the main seat as soon as he arrived.
Brother Liu was also very curious. This old man must have a high status. Why were all the people so respectful to him?
Professor Du Feng stood up and introduced Liu Ge and Liu Tianhua, "I'm sure you're all curious about this guy's identity. He's Mo'er's leader, Director Wei of the National Security Department."
Brother Liu took a deep breath, a voice in his mind kept muttering: "Oh my god, oh my god, the director of the National Security Department is a ministerial-level leader. My sister is really amazing, she can even invite a ministerial-level leader to dinner at home. It seems that I have seriously underestimated her ability. That's right, my sister has space, she must be a special talent of the country, it's normal for her to be valued by the leaders."
At this moment, another car stopped outside the door and Director Hao got out of the car with a smile on his face.
Director Hao entered the living room and saw Old Man Wei there. He quickly came over to greet him, "Director Wei is here too. I'm late."
Old Man Wei glanced at Director Hao and said, "Congratulations, Director Hao, on your promotion to Vice Minister of the Ministry of Land and Resources. You're not even fifty yet, your future achievements are limitless!"
Director Hao, or rather, Deputy Director Hao, laughed heartily. "Director Wei, you're really too kind! I'm only doing this because of Deputy Director Li. Without him, I don't know how long I'd last."
